Two identical spheres,each carrying a charge $Q = 10 \ \mu C$,are suspended from a single rigid support by strings of length $L = 1 \ m$. In the equilibrium position,if the angle between the two strings is $60^\circ$,what is the tension $T$ in the strings (in $N$)? (Given: $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \ N \cdot m^2/C^2$)

  • A
    $18$
  • B
    $1.8$
  • C
    $0.18$
  • D
    $0.018$

Five charges, each $+Q$, are placed at five vertices of a regular hexagon of side length $L$. What is the magnitude of the force on a charge $-Q$ placed at the center of the hexagon?

Two identical charged conducting spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is $q$ and the force of repulsion between them is $F$. $A$ third identical uncharged conducting sphere $C$ is brought in contact with sphere $A$ first and then with $B$ and finally removed from both. The new force of repulsion between spheres $A$ and $B$ (radii of $A$ and $B$ are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that for calculating force between them they can be considered as point charges) is best given as:

Charges $4Q$,$q$,and $Q$ are placed along the $x$-axis at positions $x = 0$,$x = l/2$,and $x = l$,respectively. Find the value of $q$ such that the net force on charge $Q$ is zero.
